Hello Katherine,

The United Nations projects that the global population will increase from 8 billion in 2023 to 9.7 billion by 2050. That’s a lot of mouths to feed!

Sustainable Habits to Lower Your Environmental Footprint

We must think about how best to conserve natural resources for future generations while simultaneously providing enough nutritious food to meet the needs of a growing population.

While not the only solution, the Mediterranean diet and other Heritage Diets provide a delicious blueprint for how to eat with the planet and good health in mind.

Yucatan Bean and Pumpkin Seed Appetizer

This appetizer is very easy to toss together, and is a perfect example of the great potential of canned beans. Pumpkin seeds and lime juice together add an unusual, but delicious, ﬂavor. Serve alone as a bean salad, with crackers or bread, or on a bed of lettuce.

Beet Burgers

Whole grain pita pockets are one of our favorite carriers for veggie burgers, as they make the perfect catchall for any stray crumbles.

Mediterranean Breakfast Quinoa

In this Mediterranean-inspired quinoa recipe, dried fruit and cinnamon contribute all of the sweet taste — no added sugars needed. Dried ﬁgs are deliciously sugary, and when joined with Turkish apricots, raw walnuts, and cinnamon, this breakfast cereal is given a decidedly Mediterranean ﬂair.
